Nestled atop a mountain near Nha Trang, the Hon Ba Nature Reserve (Khu Bao Ton Thien Nhien Hon Ba) spans 50,000 acres of lush forest. This expansive reserve is home to nearly 1,000 species of flora and fauna, many of which are endangered. As visitors ascend the mountain, they are greeted with panoramic views leading to the historic outstation of Alexandre Yersin, the French doctor renowned for discovering the cause of the Bubonic plague. Today, the reserve offers a unique opportunity to explore a rich biodiversity and step into the footsteps of a significant historical figure.
